Title: 60" Bendy Osage
Post by: Mad Max on June 25, 2016, 04:29:00 PM

I got this stave from clint  (scrub-buster or osage outlaw) At the Tn. Classic this year
Thanks clint

60" long  33@28

The stave was very narrow, so I scraped the sides on one end until I got enough thickness to make a bow, then I matched the wide end to the narrow end.I got the tiller and the poundage close at the Classic


the bow sucked up some moisture at the classic.
So when I got home I let it dry in the bow room for 3 weeks or so and heat treated the belly, back to flat and finished the tiller


This is the width I ended up with

It's 7/8" at the handle and 5/16 before the pin nocks

It's almost finished.
